Hard case?

[Sam Vimes]

Can anyone recommend a decent hard case? I already have one of the Flambeau double gun hard cases but find that my pro-target swims in it a bit.
Depth and breadth are fine but the length is well OTT.

The Pro-T looks like the one listed second down here and has a Nikko big 60 plonked on top.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

take a look at the ramsbottom site ive been having a look and pondering going for a hard case,

payment for this info is your old hard case...

[Sam Vimes]

sorry Thommo the old case will house the S410K and an old Webley MKIII which both fit in nicely. I can pay with undying gratitude if you like

The Gun Gear XLT48 is very good - wide and deep and about 5 inches shorter than the Flambeau. The Gun Gear fits sideways in my car boot - the Flambeau meant back seats had to be folded down.

I guess that this is the baby then unless someone comes up with anything else.

Pod, glad to hear that it fits in a car without needing to put the back seats down. I was hoping that might be the case.

Ramsbottoms might be a little cheaper. I think its 48 inch external. If you can wait til tomorrow I'll do some measuring?

and deluxe double rifle case 62.00

I am looking at buying a hard case as well (it will be used for transporting the rifle by airlines, rather then storage), and the GunGuard XLT48 (around £60) does look like a good buy, or the GunGuard SE (around £30). Gunguard Deluxe is also nice, but quite expensive (around £80). Napier also does some hard cases, but they are expensive (>100).

What interests me is would any of these cases take a rifle (like a HW77K with a 6-24x40 scope) in an Armadillo GunGear Gun bag or other padded gun bag?

Has anyone tried this?

The reason I would like to do this is when travelling to shoots abroad it is also nice to have a 'soft' case rather the lugging the hard case around, and the 'soft case' provides extra protection once the gun is in the hard case.

I know that a Pelican case would work, but they are too expensive...
